That "news" comes with a 55-image photo gallery of North Korea's young leader in all sorts of supposedly sexy poses.

As The Associated Press reminds us, China's state-run media has been fooled by The Onion before:

"In 2002, the Beijing Evening News, one of the capital city's biggest tabloids at the time, published as news the fictional account that the U.S. Congress wanted a new building and that it might leave Washington. The Onion article was a deadpan spoof of the way sports teams threaten to leave cities in order to get new stadiums."
